I am really happy to be able to provide you with these premium free lessons and resources through percussionclinic dot com. Here you can download lessons, exercise sheets, and IPOD compatible MP4 videos of the exercises. All the resources have been carefully selected and prepared, and they mostly come directly from the two main products of my life’s work - the “Begin Drumming” learning system, and the comprehensive “Stick Technique” book. If you want to find out more about these - visit their websites: www.begindrumming.com or www.sticktechnique.com.

All of the files are in .ZIP format, so you will need an appropriate unzipping application. I
recommend
Winzip. If you do not have it already installed, you can get it here.Get Winzip here!

The sheets are all in Adobe Acrobat files (.pdf) so you will need the Acrobat
reader to view and print them. If you do not have Acrobat installed it can be downloaded
easily and free of charge here.Get Acrobat Reader here!
